Not American and confused. I'm assuming that he's pleaded guilty because he already has his pardon from Daddy Orange, is this correct ?
Otherwise let's hope he rots in prison.
No prison sentence, and Trump has no power to pardon state crimes. Probably pleaded guilty to avoid jail time.
Ok thanks. But wait, why wouldn't he get jail time ?
Presumably that's what the plea deal offered.
American "law" sure is weird at times. "Yes I stole millions from the American people, I'll see myself out".
I would think that since daddy orange just ordered his DOJ to stop investigating a certain mayor of NY that the mayor might be able to put in a good word. Pretty sure he can't pardon though since he's not the governor.
